Version numbers don't show by themselves whether the copy/paste problem
was some kind of bug or intended behaviour, and if it was a bug,
whether it has been fixed. Instead of going to the effort of putting up
screenshots (which don't have any extra value beyond giving a version
number), you could have simply said that it works in the version X
you've got. With little extra effort, you could have even looked up
whether the changelog (included with the source you obviously have)
mentions something about copy/paste issues, but instead you posted
provocative comments with little solid information.

You would have to agree that there is little reason to compile a newer
version of xpdf when I can already copy/paste straight into the text
editor which I use 99% of the time with the older version I've got,
hence my comment everyone decide for themselves whether they find it
worth upgrading.

Btw I didn't send rude offlist email(s); and this list doesn't have any
netiquette.
